Hi Gelo5 - All looks good now with the ‘Advance’ skin…much appreciated.

[Gelo5]

If Volumio works, it probably does.
Most have RPi3 and RPi4.

Hi Everyone, I installed Volumio 3.251 & used the video by Andy to install PepperMeter Plugin. It was working great until I installed the FusionDsp Plugin. After installing FusionDsp the sound on Spotify stopped working & the PeppyMeter Plugin also stopped working. I fixed the spotify sound using the info in the description of Andy’s install video. Now my problem is I have the PeppyMeter plugin installed & Enabled but it is no longer working. I’ve tried disabling & enabling the plugin and restarted, I’ve reinstalled the plug-in a few times & even did a fresh Volumio install but as soon as I install FusionDsp it stops working all over again. Are you able to help me out? I really want to get this working with FusionDsp & spotify for a project I’m doing. I’m using a Raspberry Pi3b+ & waveshare 5.5" touchscreen with the touchscreen plugin installed & enabled.

Probably both projects using ALSA drivers and that’s why they do.

Peppy is not released/approved for V3 and causes DSP to fail.
If you need DSP, uninstall Peppy. Until the author of Peppy finds time to update the plugin.

I’ve been reading back and forth trough this project, amazing what effort is put in by the designers of the images and plugin.
I searched the forum for a topic on what displays are the best and where to buy them. So I appologize if this is not the correct topic for this question.
What are the best touch diplays?
What about resolution?
I like this one:
https://www.waveshare.com/11.9inch-hdmi-lcd.htm
But is it easy to built in? I see that m4sta2k has it standing on a desk naked.
Or is a 10" 1920x1080 a better option?

[Wheaten]

Not a discussion for what is better, It’s what you prefer. But sticking with standard resolutions, will give you more benefits using already designed images.
If you take a different resolution, you either need to be nice to Gelo5, as he seems the only one willing to do this without having a similar screen. Or get crafty with Photoshop or paint.net and draw them yourself. And share them offcoarse.

But is it easy to built in?

• No, The “landscape” screens have a very small rim, so you need proper equipment if you want to carve an opening in your cabinet about 0.8mm margin to cut or saw… I ended with glue it on my cabinet.
• 2nd they keep on making the same design error. They’ve located the connections on the outer skirt, so you always need a cabinet that stick out for 3 cm above the screen. They expect that the rPi can deliver enough power for the screen, which is a dreamfull state.
  The most right one is the power connector, which you can’t bypass with the delivered connector. As the rPi can’t deliver the power. You’ll need a 2nd supply.

Great it’s working on RPI2 , thanks

[davinci]

@Wheaten, thanks
I already noticed that Gelo5 was doing all the heavy lifting for the graphics. He is amazing. And the results are beautiful.
That’s why I want to stick to what’s already available.
I suppose most of the used displays are waveshare? That is what I found when I ask my friend Google .

[Gelo5]

@2aCD - once again all forum members, thank you for your work and this plugin.

@peppy.player - it was thanks to your peppymeter that the whole plugin was created. Thank you!

Great work! Many thanks for sharing.
Happy Easter.

[ClaesM]

Really nice work!! is it possible to have some of this skins scaled down to 800 x 480?

Happy Easter!

[Gelo5]

Maybe next week I’ll do something.

[ClaesM]

Thanks! It would be very appreciated.

[Gelo5]

One condition: a minimum monitor of 7 inches. You will not see anything on the smaller ones.
Which skin to scale?

[ClaesM]

I really like Klanghelm an Accuphase…
